No clickety-click on pots

[tauzero]

Both of my Warwick Thumbs have stacked treble and bass controls with centre detentes. On one of them (the young 'un, in fact), the centre detente isn't - there's a vague hint of a click but it's not exactly noticable. A replacement would cost a bit over a tenner from warwick.de (assuming that the ones that they have are suitable) - just wondered if there was a quick fix that would enable me to keep more money for beer and avoid having to desolder and resolder six tags. I imagine there's some springy thing which has lost its, er, spring. Anyone know of such a fix?

Why not take it apart a bit and have a look, since you are going to replace anyway. Worst case is you lose tone control for shipping time.

Take the knobs off, twist the shafts and see if they have a detent.

If they do, then fit the knobs with while the pot is at the detent. This allows the shaft to move in and out very slightly as the pot travels through the detent.

You could get a small aerosol of pot cleaner from your local Maplins. This is always useful for all electrical stuff and may well relieve that dodgy detent. If not you now know you need a new one!
